Watching
"Alright kids it's time to settle down for naptime!" Sun announced to the daycare. You could hear a collective groan from the children as they all waddled their way to the nap area. "I'm sorry kiddos but we can't play all day without any breaks."
"Why not?" A small boy asked.
"Because you need your rest." Sun had all the kids pay down then conducted his headcount. Once he was satisfied with the number of kids, he went to shut off the lights. Ottie saw this as her chance. It had been about a week since she escaped, and she wanted to explore again. She knew Moon wouldn't do another headcount, so she waited till Sun finished his and walked away to get the lights. As soon as Sun was far enough away that he couldn't hear her, she booked it to the slide.
Once she got to the slide, she hurried up into it. As soon as she got inside, she could see the lights click off. She quickly scrambled up the slide, it was still difficult for her little arms and legs, but she made it up just like last time. She looked around deciding where to go this time and decided on a way.
She walked around the Plex for a little bit before finding herself in a boring part if the mall once again. She was about to turn back when she saw something shiny near the floor catch her eye. She walked up to it and realized it was a small metal tunnel in the wall. Now you might be thinking 'why is there a small metal tunnel in the wall' well dear reader this is no tunnel this was actually 'drum roll please'.... Just... A vent without a cover on. Anticlimactic I know but what were you expecting? Of course, Ottie didn't know what it was she'd never actually seen a vent without its cover on, so her curiosity spiked. She stood there crouched on the ground debating whether to go in or not.
"If I go through, I could get really hurt" she thought aloud "but there could also be an adventure through here" she stayed there a minute going back and forth before coming to a conclusion "I'll do it" she said bravely even though she was actually quite scared, but she pushed all her worries to the back of her mind and started into the tunnel.
She crawled through the tunnel a while without seeing anything but the metal interior of the vent. She was close to turning back the way she came, when she found herself at another opening this time covered by a metal grate. She looked through it and looked into what looked like a living room and bedroom put into one. It had a couch which folded out into a bed which she recognized since her family had one for when guests stayed over. 'Do the robots sleep?' She thought to herself. The room also had a vanity in one corner, and the whole room was filled with Freddy themed stuff. She guessed this must be the bear's room and moved on to go further into the vent.
She crawled for little bit and came to another grate this time looking into a room quite similar to the last just instead of being Freddy themed, it was Roxy and racing themed. When she scanned the room and didn't see anything that interested her, she continued once again.
She came to another vent covering looking into yet another character themed room. This room was also the same set up as the other rooms, just with a Monty and a golf theme. Another thing different about this room than the rest, was that it had someone in it. Ottie spotted the Gator playing the drum set in the corner of the room. She also noticed that the screws holding the vent cover on were lose, very lose.
Monty was just chilling in his room practicing on his drums like any other day. This time was different though, after about 10 minutes of playing, he felt eyes on him, like he was being watched, which he very much disliked, I mean who likes being watched while in their room? He looked around but when he didn't see anything or anyone, he just brushed it off and continued playing. After about 10 more minutes the feeling was still there so he scanned his room again, and yet again there was nothing, so he went back to playing. This cycle went on a few more times until Monty decided to stop playing.
Once he stopped there was a little clapping from the couch in his room. He whipped his head to the side to find one little messy haired girl clapping and smiling.
"Who. How. Where." He started to ask but couldn't find any words, "wait yer the kid I had to take back to the daycare, Otter or something."
"Ottie" She giggled.
"Yeah that, why are you here?"
"Your drum playing was awesome, I wanted to listen" she told him admiration in her eyes.
"Thanks," He rubbed the back of his neck akwardly "how did you get in here?"
"There" She pointed to the vent near the ceiling which Monty looked at then looked back at Ottie.
"Oh" He said pausing for a minute, "Wait what! You came in through the vents? How did you even get in there?!"
"The tunnel was open in the hall, so I went through it looking for adventure" The girl replied.
"Thats great now we've got kids in the walls," he mumbled to himself "wait does Sun and Moon just not watch you guys or.."
"They do, I just know how to be sneaky" she smirked.
"Do you not like it there? you keep leaving." he pointed out.
"No no" She answered quickly, "I love it there, Sun and Moon are soooo nice they're my best friends, I just want to explore go on an adventure."
"So an adventure's what 'cha want?" Monty asked Her.
"Mhm" She shook her head vigorously.
"Well come on then" he said walking away.
"Where are we going?" Ottie was a bit confused.
"On an adventure" the gator answered.
"Really?" She asked her eyes shining with excitement."
"I ain't got anything better to do, so why not."
